Looky!! I finally got a start on the Whispers Shawl!! I am loving it. It is working up so quick! If you are wanting to give it a try I do have a couple of suggestions. (1) use a fingering weight yarn, and a yarn that has the self striping change in colors. Knitpicks has a line of yarn called Chroma that works perfectly for this. (2) I am using a size E hook. It may feel strange if you are a tight crocheter, but you will be happy with the results! Both the yarn and the hook gives the shawl a gorgeous drape and weight.
I was so excited watching the colors change into each other I snapped a couple more pictures to post.
I have a feeling I will be wearing this quite a bit once the weather cools off!
I have been doing some knitting as well. I found a fun pattern on Ravelry for this infinity scarf it is called the Honey Cowl and I am loving ir!!
The Yarn I was using is by Knitpicks, It was in my Thriftstore Yarn Score that I had posted a couple of weeks ago, It is called Peciosa "'Mulled", 100% Merino Worsted Weight. I don't believe they sell it any longer. Shame, it knits up so pretty!
Pretty!!!!!
How's about a little selfie of me modeling the scarf and my fresh new hair did!! I have decided to try and grow it out a little for a change. I am also doing my best to do some low carbing, too!!! I am at that point where it is still hard, it takes a while and a lot of determination to get my mind and body off the carbs!!! They are so yummy, and I loves me some pizza and chocolate milk! Oh the inhumanity of it all!!!
So Sunday is winding down, Monday is closing in...I am trying to get ready for the week. The weekends go by so fast. I am crossing my fingers for a good week, and going to do my best to stick with the diet!
Bye for now!!

Love the vibrant colors in the shawl! :)
Oooo....your shawl and the yarn you are using is so yummy!!
I love the colors your shaw is going to be. I can't wait until it gets finished to see it. You've done a beautiful job so far. I'm looking for a shawl pattern for myself. I want something that doesn't have a lot of openings. This looks like a nice pattern. Where did you purchase i?
I went back in and put in the links for the patterns and the yarn for anyone interested!

love your work! found you through Pinterest. Do you sell the pattern for the halfgan? I need this for the fall and winter in MN! And, this will be the first thing in my decades of knitting and crocheting I have decided I will keep for myself. Have the yarn and am ready to go! mary
Your work is amazing, and I love the colors!
I love the ribbed look to this and colors. I just found your blog, and am enjoying your projects.
I know this is a little late. But, I did my fair share of low carbing and when I craved pizza I would just order a supreme and only eat the toppings. It would give me my pizza fix for sure. Then for chocolate milk I would maybe get some unsweetened chocolate, add your choice of sugar free sweetener, then use heavy whipping cream or half and half as your milk replacement. I would even do half of each. It would be more of a hot chocolate, but put it in fridge then you would have your low carb chocolate milk. By the way, everything you make is beautiful! I especially like your hood with the poetry buttons!!
